Say hi to Noodle
Hi! I know that this is super random but I just wanted to say that you did a really great job on these feud descriptions. I see a lot of theories and opinions about storylines on tumblr and your work is really the best. It is really cool to read these and I think you have a great attention to detail and make things easy to understand. Because sometimes when people see the storylines on tv it can be hard to understand and easy for people to lose the true meaning behind why the superstars are fighting. I love everything about this especially the gifs and subtitles which add such a cool look and feel. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻❤️Okay I’m done now and thanks for listening to my ted talk. 😂🤗
The Boss vs The Man: A Battle For Greatness
The Boss and The Man are very different characters. However their goals and ambitions have always been the same - to be at the top.
“Pissed Off For Greatness”
When Sasha became The Boss in NXT, it’s because she wanted centre of attention, to have the spotlight and to be the champion. She was angry that she had been being overlooked and underestimated for so long. She decided that the only way to achieve her dreams was to be ruthless and take down anyone that stood in her way and it worked for her.
Now Becky also had similar frustrations. Her career wasn’t really going anywhere in NXT. She eventually crossed paths with the Boss who gave her an idea: what do you need to do to make it to the top? Becky took that advice an aligned herself with Sasha. Together, they could work together to take out their competition. But there was underlying tension between them.
This alliance would eventually dissolve when they both got a shot at the NXT Women’s Title. Sasha won the championship match, and now she was at the top. And where did that leave Becky? With nothing. They would eventually clash for the title. Sasha didn’t see Becky as her equal. She believed she made Becky. Becky lost the match but that would be her breakout moment. That set the stage for everything that’s happening now.
“Greatness doesn’t need to be goaded into being great.”
Charlotte, Sasha and Becky got called up to the main roster at the same time. And whilst Charlotte and Sasha had already made names for themselves, Becky struggled to find her place in the division. Opportunities would come and go and Becky would make the best of them, but the spotlight was on Sasha and Charlotte. Becky was always overlooked. An afterthought. She was even told she was the least relevant in the women’s evolution. Sasha and Becky both got the opportunity to face Charlotte for the women’s championship but Becky was the third wheel in that match. Once again an afterthought.
Eventually Becky would get separated from the two women she’s been tied to for the majority of her career. She then became the inaugural Smackdown women’s champion. Finally at the top of her own division, but there was something missing.
She realised what it was when she once again got pushed to the side for Charlotte Flair. “To be the best you have to beat the best”. Becky’s frustrations turn her against her former friend and the fans. However, she came to realise that the WWE Universe was on her side. They had been paying attention to her journey. They wanted her at the top. Becky had been holding back because she didn’t want step on any toes. But enough was enough. In NXT, she said she had come into this company to takeover and that’s what she decided to do. This system that had been against her from the beginning. The corporate heads never had faith in her but the fans did. She knew what she deserved. She’d fought hard to be where she was unlike the Charlottes and Rondas of this world.
With the support of the WWE Universe, Becky is able to take what she’s owed. She’s grabbed the brass ring and finally at the top of the mountain.
“The Greatest Woman To Never Be Great”
Sasha Banks’ journey has not been as easy as it looks. Coming to the main roster, Sasha not only craved attention but she wanted the respect of the WWE Universe. And that would be the beginning of a long arduous road for The Boss. Changing her attitude would lead to a series of embarrassing title reigns and wasted opportunities. She’s in the spotlight and gets to be in all these first-evers but always comes up short. Doing things the right way has not worked out for her.
She also realises that the system has never really been in her favour. Whenever she gets something, it gets taken away because she’s being the good guy. She has been of the backbone division yet been served on the chopping block to women she feels are lesser than her. She is the standard. She is the talk of the division yet no one respects her. No one believes in her and that has messed with her confidence. The tag titles present an opportunity to finally have gold but Sasha knows that just moves her farther away from her goal of being at the top. Being a mid-carder? That’s beneath her. And when she and Bayley lose the titles at Wrestlemania, that’s the last straw. She decides to take off and let the division fend for itself.
A Worthy Adversary
Now Becky is at the top. On the cover of posters and magazines, she’s the face of the company. But once again something is missing. She’s beaten Charlotte more times than she can count, she’s taken out Ronda and at this point Lacey Evans is her personal punching bag. Becky has done everything she needs to do. But she’s…bored? There’s this nagging feeling that there’s something that she hasn’t done yet. What is it? Defeat Sasha Banks.
Sasha Banks has been gone for months but somehow she’s still the centre of attention. The week of Wrestlemania when Becky makes history, all everyone is talking about is Sasha Banks: Where is she? Are the rumours true? When is she coming back? Becky is at the top of now but somehow Sasha is still in her spotlight. Becky needs Sasha to come back. She needs to defeat the woman who always doubted her and never saw her as a worthy adversary. So she goads Sasha, taunts and mocks her for being a sore loser whenever she gets the opportunity. But Sasha never responds.
Now Sasha has been watching Becky. As Sasha’s career has been going down a road leading nowhere and Becky has been making her way to the top. Sasha was relegated to a pointless tag team match while Becky got to achieve Sasha’s dream of main-eventing Wrestlemania. Sasha made Becky, yet Becky is living The Boss’s dreams. Becky is getting everything Sasha ever wanted. Becky has the support of the fans. And Sasha is envious. She’s played nice for too long. Becky isn’t even on her level but has the audacity to mock her. She needs to come back and take what’s hers.
The Boss vs The Man
These two women have always had to fight for what they wanted. Becky has got to the top because she worked for it and had the fans on her side. And while Sasha initially had more opportunities, she’s lost momentum because she tried to be a people-pleaser. She wanted to be the hero but people saw right through it, that’s why it didn’t work. Becky and Sasha have never been the chosen ones. They’ve always had to take what they wanted. And now Becky has what Sasha wants. She wants The championship and Becky’s spot. As for Becky, she needs to tick off last thing on her list - Defeating Sasha Banks. The woman who always doubted her and never saw her as an equal.
While Sasha might have made Becky in NXT, Becky became The Man on her own. Sasha hasn’t been The Boss since NXT and now she’s back with a vengeance. That rage that fuelled her in NXT is back. She’s hungrier and more desperate than ever. Sasha is back for the fame, the money and the glory. Becky is at the top of her list because she has what Sasha needs. She still doesn’t think Becky is her equal. But Sasha has been paying attention. To be the man you need to beat The Man. They have a lot of history together and They may think they know each other but they’ve both changed. Becky is more confident now and Sasha is back in her element.
The Battle For Greatness
Becky has been playing a cat and mouse game with everyone who ever did her wrong. Telling them “get me before I get you.” That message was for Sasha.
And what does Sasha do on her return? Go after Natalya. She isn’t about to play The Man’s games. She has her own plan. She’s been ignoring Becky for months and she knows it’s gotten to her. She knows she’s in Becky’s head. That’s how she lured Becky out the night of her return. Sasha is still treating Becky like she isn’t worth her time.
The tables have turned. Now Becky believes that she’s made Sasha the top dog. She thinks that Sasha has done nothing of consequence since she’s been gone while she’s been making headlines. Now because of Becky, Sasha is the talk of the town.
Becky’s game worked. She’s been trying to get Sasha back and The Boss finally took the bait. But Sasha is playing a different game. Something more sinister that she hasn’t revealed yet. There’s a lot at stake for them and not just the title. Their reputations and their positions. This is a battle for greatness. This is a blood feud and Clash of Champions is only the beginning.
Izuku wore a small flush on his face as he approached his frie--boyfriend. He held a decently sized gift bag in his hands and held it out towards Rody. "H-happy birthday!" he managed with a bright smile. Inside was a portable pilot's tool kit and case as well as a pilot's LED pen. There was even another gift bag reserved for Pino. "I wasn't sure if Pino was born around your birthday so I thought I'd get her something too," he added sheepishly.
Rody was surprised to see the other approach with gifts. Did he ever tell the hero his birthday?
...
Did Roro and Lala tell him?
He smiled with a faint blush, politely taking the gifts from his boyfriend. His look softened more at the mention of Pino. Rody loved that Deku took her into account.
"Heh, we usually celebrate the same day since it's easier that way." Pino chirped in, happily ruffling her feathers. As Rody began to fiddle with the gifts and tissue paper, Pino flew over to Deku, pecking his cheek before getting comfortable on his shoulder. “Thank you though, Izuku. You really didn’t need to get me anything.”
Upon seeing what was in his gift bag, he had to smirk. “Well well, the little nerd has been doing his research, eh?” The brunette teased as he pulled out the tool kit and pen. Deku was already spoiling him... he had a good idea of what these things cost. He was excited nonetheless about the gifts, which was displayed through Pino’s little hops on the hero’s shoulder.
Rody held up the pen, smoothly flipping it through his fingers. “Definitely going to be using this for my late-night studying.” He couldn’t resist clicking the pen and turning the light on and off. He was having fun; he would get to Pino’s gift in a moment.
I figure now is a good time to go over the game timeline in this blog's universe, since it’s not just the order the games were released in. I’ve been wanting to talk about this for a bit, but I figured I’d wait until that last ask was posted since it kinda brought the timeline up.
I’ll leave my explanations for everything under a cut, since it’s pretty long.
- Dream Land 1/Spring Breeze
- Dynablade
- Great Cave Offensive
- Meta Knight's Revenge
- Meta Knightmare
- Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land
- Dream Land 2
- Dream Land 3
- Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
- Revenge of the King
- Meta Knightmare Ultra
- Milky Way Wishes
- Amazing Mirror
- Squeak Squad
- Return to Dream Land
- Triple Deluxe
- Dededetour
- Planet Robobot
- Meta Knightmare Returns?
- Star Allies
- Guest Star and Heroes in Another Dimension
The spin-offs with plot (Epic Yarn, Mass Attack, etc.) are all in there somewhere as well (probably around their release order), but they don’t matter as much.
So yeah, Super Star is split up and scattered around. I think it makes more sense for Meta Knight’s Revenge, where Meta Knight was more of a villain, to come before Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land, where’s he more like a mentor to Kirby. And then I just figured that everything that comes before Meta Knight’s Revenge in Super Star might as well still happen first.
Basically, Meta Knight attacks Dream Land in an attempt to overthrow Dedede, but Kirby stops him. Impressed that Kirby was able to defeat him and intrigued by how similar he and Kirby look, Meta Knight decides to keep an eye on him and eventually starts to act as a mentor.
Meta Knightmare 1 is something I think I might wanna explain in an ask, though I guess it doesn’t matter too much. If you’d rather I explain it out of character just tell me, otherwise you can ask Meta Knight about his experiences with Nightmare/fighting Nightmare. …Or about his cape, since that’s connected.
After 64, Dedede recruits Bandee as his second in command (or something like that), and gives him the bandana as a sign of status. Kirby and Dedede are on pretty good terms now, but Dedede still decides to challenge Kirby to one last battle for fun (though Dedede does also want to prove to himself that he can beat Kirby.)
Meta Knightmare Ultra only consists of the Meta Knight’s Revenge and Milky Way Wishes parts, since the others aren’t too important. Meta Knight accidentally goes too far in a training exercise with his crew and crashes his own ship. Unfortunately, repairing the Halberd the first time used of most of the spare parts he had, so Meta Knight has to travel to the surrounding planets to gather more. Nova is pretty well known around Popstar, but only as a myth. Most people don’t know he actually exists. Still, Meta Knight decides to try his luck and summon him, since he’s heading to the planets anyway. Nova appears, and Meta Knight fights Galacta Knight instead of asking for parts because he’s a dumbass (and to be fair, he already collected most of what he needed.) Meta Knightmare Ultra comes before Milky Way Wishes so that Nova actually dies in the fight against Kirby and doesn’t somehow get revived by Meta Knight.
Dededetour pretty much just involves the last part. Dedede decides to head up to Floralia and help Taranza clean up the remains of Sectonia's Castle. He finds the Dimension Mirror and fights Shadow Dedede and Dark Meta Knight. Taranza probably also learns what caused Sectonia to go crazy (or at least gets a good idea of what happened). Also, Taranza and Dedede reconcile after the whole kidnapping thing and are now on fairly good terms with each other.
I have no idea how to handle Meta Knightmare Returns, honestly, cuz Kirby completely destroys Star Dream in his fight with it. I guess one idea could be that after being released from Susie’s control, Meta Knight is able to meet Star Dream, who puts him through all those trials. I dunno. The entire thing could also just not happen, but I feel like Galacta Knight appears so rarely that I shouldn’t do that.
I’m not sure which order Guest Star and Heroes in Another Dimension should be in. I have ideas for both cases:
The portal to Another Dimension opens up after Void Termina is fought. After coming to his senses at the end of Heroes in Another Dimension, Hyness realizes that sealing Galacta Knight away forever was kind of a dick move, so he decides to free him. The Star Allies don’t realize Hyness' good intentions and go to stop him, but Galacta Knight is still released. And then the whole thing with the butterfly happens. I’ve got no explanation for that.
Or, after Void Termina is defeated, a spiteful Hyness releases Galacta Knight in an attempt to unleash another galactic crisis. The summoning opens up the portal to Another Dimension, and Heroes in Another Dimension occurs after Morpho Knight is defeated.
One last thing: the Arena and True Arena never happen in this universe. Instead, though, extra forms like Star Dream Soul OS and Void are added to the story mode fight so that Kirby fully defeats the boss the first time around. The two exceptions to this are Marx and Magolor. Marx is rescued by Magolor before he can absorb Nova's power, so Marx Soul is never created. Magolor EX and Magolor Soul aren’t really necessary to include, so I’m thinking that the regular mode and extra mode forms are combined to have the appearance of the regular mode forms but the strength of the extra mode ones. Not that that really matters though, I guess. Oh, and also the arena short version of Magolor Soul's death scream (this one: https://youtu.be/wNrjR6gmpu8 ) is kept because that shit's creepy and depressing and I need it.
this surprisingly only took 2 and 1/2 days, xD anyways guys thanks for your support. My mind always gets BLOWN when someone just likes my stuff.
cool snake fact: long
I will say, one good thing about the live action remakes is that they are forcing us to realize what is at the heart and soul of the original stories.
Why does the live action Snow White feel so heartless? Because that isn't Snow White.
Well, we already knew the girl was kind, but wasn't until the remake was announced did we go back and see HOW kind Snow White was. The girl noticed how messy the drawfs' house was, believed they had mother, and decided to clean the house for the little "children" out of kindness (and hoping they let her stay).
Snow White went out of her way to help these little "children"...when she was still a child herself! ONLY 13 or 14 years old!!! So kind and yet so small!
Think about all the others now.
Ever kind and strong Cinderella. The determined and unwavering Bella. The Wonder-Seeking Ariel. The causally-stealing-the-show Good Faires. And on and on and on.
Hopefully, after experiencing the heartless live action remakes, the next generation of storytellers will take us back to when books and movies had, should I say, Soul.
Rant incoming
I feel like the problem with a lot of Disney's live action remakes (and arguably Wish) is they're trying to appeal to a crowd that no longer exists, namely the people who used to claim that the Disney Princesses were sexist.
All the interviews tend to include, "Well she's not chasing a MAN anymore" which...almost no one sees the princesses like that, anymore. Virtually NO ONE still believes the princesses are man-chasing sexist caricatures of women.
Cinderella is now hailed as an abuse victim who stayed strong long enough to get help to get out of her situation. Anyone who says she should have saved herself is basically regarded as a victim blamer. And it's very clear in the film she wasn't looking to marry the prince, she just wanted a night off. She was the only one who wasn't in line to meet him. She didn't find out she met the prince until he went looking for her!
Snow White is now hailed for her negotiation skills, ability to calm down after extreme stress (she had a moment of panic and had to cry for a bit, but who wouldn't after finding out The Queen hired someone to kill you?), and ability to take charge of a house of adult men. And again, she was an abuse victim, this time trying to escape ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS. While she dreamed of her prince, it was secondary to her main goal of SURVIVAL. There are also entire video essays about how Snow White gave hope to people during The Great Depression.
Everyone acknowledges that Ariel wanted to be human BEFORE meeting Eric. We all know she was a nerd hyperfixating on humans, and also standing up to her prejudiced father.
We understand Sleeping Beauty wasn't the main character, the Three Good Fairies were, AND PHILLIP WOULD NEVER HAVE BEATEN MALEFICENT WITHOUT THEM! He literally depended on them! WOMEN SAVED THE DAY! But even then, is it really such a sin for a girl to fantasize about romance and fall for someone with corny pickup lines?
We all understand Jasmine just wanted someone to treat her LIKE A PERSON. She rejected every Prince before Aladdin because they treated her like a prize. So why did they need her to want to be Sultan? How did that make her more feminist when she already wanted to be treated like an equal and have a say in her future? Is it only empowering if you want a career in politics?
We admire that Belle, despite living in a judgemental village, was kind to everyone (even though she found the village life dull), and her story teaches girls that the guy everyone else loves isn't always a good guy. What's sexist about teaching girls about red flags? And she didn't start being nice to The Beast until he started treating her with respect and kindness.
Do I really NEED to defend Mulan or Tiana? I think they speak for themselves.
Rapunzel was yet another abuse victim who just needed a little help to get out of her bad situation. In this case, she also needed to learn that she was an abuse victim, and that what Mother Gothel did WASN'T normal, much like many victims of gaslighting.
And don't get me started on the non-princess animals.
Perdita had a healthy relationship with Pongo to the point she was open to express her pregnancy fears to him, and was ready to TEAR APART Cruella's goons for daring to touch her puppies as well as adopting the other puppies. Like, she was so ferocious the goons mistook her for a hyena! She's basically that "I AM THAT GIRL'S MOTHER!" scene from SpyXFamily if Yor were a dog. She and her husband were a TEAM.....but they made a Cruella live action to turn her into a girlboss?! The literal animal abuser!? THAT'S the woman you wanted to put on a pedestal when Perdita was RIGHT THERE!?
Duchess kept her kittens calm after they had been catnapped and was classy as heck. Nice to everyone regardless of social class during a time period where that was uncommon.
Lady stood up to Tramp when she believed he had abandoned her and didn't really care about her. She found out he was a heartbreaker and was like, "Nuh uh. No. You are not doing that to me! You put me through enough."
Miss Bianca from The Rescuers was IN CHARGE the whole movie, and was willing to risk life and limb to save an innocent child. THAT TINY MOUSE TOOK ON ALLIGATORS! And she picked Bernard to accompany her because he was the only one who wasn't ogling her. And then in the sequel SHE DID IT ALL AGAIN! I wish I were as brave as her.
Like, the public haven't accused these ladies of being sexist caricatures since 2014 (Actresses and actors don't count, they're out of touch like the rest of Hollywood) yet Disney is operating under the assumption that the public still thinks that way, hence all the "sHe'S nOt AfTeR a MaN iN ThIs VeRsIOn" talk.
The live action remakes are trying to attract an audience that doesn't really exist much, anymore, and back when it did exist, was comprised mainly of people who didn't actually watch the films. The Disney princesses are no longer seen as sexist, and feminine qualities are no longer seen as weak or undesirable.

Relationship Advice
Sooooooo, this is gonna be long but I need opinions and such. Somebody help me lol. I need thoughts and opinions.
Okay so the situation, I’ve been dating a guy for awhile now. Our first day was the day before Halloween and we have been hanging out/going on dates almost every single day since then. In Decemeber, I asked him if we were exclusively dating at this point b/c we had never talked about our relationship/status it just was and still is. He said he was considering us exclusively dating since the very beginning but in terms of bf/gf terms it was too soon for him to say. I was okay with that, as long as I got confirmation that we weren’t dating other people. Never talked about it again until recently, he comes over my house all the time and we hangout/watch movies/talk so I asked again since it’s now February if we were on bf/gf terms and he said yes, at this point it would be crazy not to call each other that. He’s the one who initiated the buying of gifts for Christmas, I thought it would be too soon to buy each other presents and he got me another “early” gift for valentine’s day and plans to get me more. But the thing is that he’s met my parents and my siblings and close family but I’ve never met his. I’ve only met his best friend and the bff’s fiancé, I think he’s worried about me meeting his mom since she’s a religious fanatic and has talked about how Jesus has come to her in her dreams telling her it’s time for her to come “home” and she burned his Supernatural poster in his room when he was out because she thought it looked satanic. I want to ask him why/if he wants or when I should meet her since things have been pretty serious. I just don’t know how to bring it up, I don’t want to be the person who is always asking these questions in the relationship but I am. I feel like it makes me seem needy or somethin but I really want to know and my closest friends are asking why I haven’t met her yet since he’s met mine and gets invited/comes to family events/gatherings and I don’t have a good answer for them.
Blinded By Shadows 🌑⚡🌕
If one looks into the light
And instinctively turns away
In fear, with aching eyes,
It might have been
That one has stood
In the darkness
For a long time
